Let me be back in a few minutes for three, four solid years. So they have no legs to stand alone. I want to assure the good people of this country. That the especially the youth. They must not join the corrosion. Things are difficult since are difficult. Yes. But the world is very reset. Look, countries are suffering. You go to Yuki at the airport. If everybody is coming from London today, at the price of the Eastern Bloc the issue is why you should check about that. I said that there are no border because you don't have to pay them. Germany is struggling with Emily. I should speak. Could I say that for the first time in their history? They are going to have the right to have a difficult winter. But the Europeans are told us that they were embarking on green energy. While they were vetted by the nucleus and to their child was as well as on what people were in the other places. But I want to what is my own government that advocacy I see every problem as an opportunity. As a government and that is what we have started doing out of COVID that we decided to come out with one one. I wonder what I want to be after. Now I've seen a lot of it at various stages of completion. But in the midst of COVID, the message took the board system of constructive 111 transporters. Out of this, all you can debug. We must come out as a country to put power in order. So that our court is deathless we can refine our own group to supply the system. And even other out of this crisis, I am not warning the ministry of agriculture. That we intensify. Isn't it interesting that we sit down as African body or as ghanaians and to be important, some food stars that we could produce in this country? Let this problem rather be a defining moment that never again must be happiness of an extended country or an outside country, have a much serious impact on our life. That's where I want this to look out all niches. So that together. Together, we're going to have some dialog going through. It is not related to the end this way. More go to the same market. And I was wondering, I was getting this password. That communicators have been giving money. To come and talk, I wonder whether I want a mother has come here to master democratic Congo, gives you money. However, she must have said she bought 400 cities worth of fuel. It's part of the communication money that we are given. And I got on my sauce. Because I just tell you. And lord communicator of the national democratic. That is the money that you're sharing it. And I don't know why they are not certain it to strategic. People. And so all of this. We in the department are not giving money to go on to speak. We come here to defend the political tradition. That is so much in our blood. I'm a UP. I belong to the mutant 20 party. My tradition has a tradition. And this has no tradition. So if anybody who advise anybody to die, I will call numbers that are scientifically and rises are different. To join us with me, I live here on YouTube. So that I can also have into the new attractive party together with him and together we have continued with the very programs and policies as I've ever made up to you. That is coming on board. At petrochemical industry. We are now moving the production of the saliva and plexus to a different level. And still the water cooperation. Why do you think we are doing that? Is to check with this influence you are talking about. We are going to develop our oil because we have real life demolition. We have vertex. I want our brothers. The political is becoming too much. Now you go to parliament as simple issue. Look, I had a lawyer said you were missing that I was not getting the point. But I ended up watching the very law that I give it up. And that is not the law that the law is it doesn't mean you should use it. Then I want to give a law. He said a good law can be used for bad. There are say that if you are going to register for your water ideal, use dollar cut. If you are willing to. Let me tell you a sim card. You just got my cop, and the people are implementing the law to the latter. And they said, is a ruler by being in a dead body? So this is sometimes pull at this. And I'm not too much into that. On that note, the youth of this country must have the faith and confidence in this new pathology party. Just like the demonized president conform one was in power, that was a time. And after he says it, he is not seen as a God tomorrow. They would remember the new prototype part. As far as I'm concerned, the sim card registration is another creative for some people in government to shorten the fear. If we have a robust biometric system, which is more viable than the UK, I said by balmy, why are you asking us to go to the ship in order to register our sim card? A two question is on join us on Facebook. Please tell us what started by the end you see under president runnings, exploration of all was by president kuma, president rawlings intensified which are as the head of the GMP C and B should stop the credit for things they know nothing of.

The pandemic came actually a significant increase in the number of people living in parks across the city of toronto actually across canada. But we're talking about toronto. So i'll keep. I'll keep my comments there. And there are a number of reasons for that but one of them was of course the downsizing of shelters because of the social distancing rules that were part of the prescription to Try to curb the pandemic and so you know. Big shelters became smaller shelters. So let's say there were thirty beds. It might have gone down to fifteen beds. Hundred beds might have gone down to thirty beds and with nowhere to go. A lot of people ended up in parks. There are other reasons as well. As the pandemic ruled on it became increasingly clear that congregate or you know settings where a lot of people reside were becoming Hotbeds of Spread of covert and so a lot of people. Were thinking wait. I think i'm better off even though as really tough living. It's actually some of the living in parks. I actually might survive in a park. Whereas i may not in a shelter and of course we all know. Shelters are really hard places to live at the best of times so so toronto.

You're very welcome I thought that your most recent newsletter was perhaps one of the more insightful takes on return to office and the discussion around that that i've seen so maybe you could start us off by defining spontaneous. Collaboration what is it. And why is it such a buzzword now and over the next few months sure This spontaneous collaboration were. I think i was calling it sort of tongue in cheek.

What Does the Future of Money Look Like?
"Jordan. Heath rawlings is the big story. Michael doyle is a freelance reporter and journalist based in toronto who examined the future of money in canada for the globe in mail. Hi michael jordan. Can you start us off. Just because it's such a useful way to think about this. At least i found it useful by telling us the story of money on the island of yap certainly Yup is a tiny island. That is now part of micronesia in the south pacific and for hundreds of years. They had a very unusual form of currency and that was these gigantic limestone rocks and the bigger they were the more valuable they were and also of course the bigger they were the more difficult they were to actually physically exchange with each other so over time they Just left the rocks where they were and In order for them to figure out who owned which rock which note of currency for lack of better term. They created basically a form of a ledger.

That's what we'll do to that's what do it first of all, tell me that going back to Baltimore. Did you have personal experience with these in Baltimore? Did you have any of these opportunities owns? So this type of investment was not, um this particular type of investment was not a part of my term is Mayor the opportunity zone as they stand today or were apart or an outgrowth of Trump? The former president Trump's tax cut plan, which provided for increased incentives for investment in underserved community, so Adapting that we've had lots of I've had lots of work with investment and underserved communities. But not under opportunity, though, is it too soon to have a track record to know whether the new version is opportunity Zones work. I think that the slow rollout or the opportunity zone regulation has made it. Um, made it hard to really have a report card that being said I'm encouraged because I know the bind Administration has Priority for investing in urban you know, the urban America and underserved communities, and I think that this is the the opportunity zone. Will create, you know just what it says. An opportunity to create more of that. It's we embrace it in a way that make sure that it targeted toward the neighborhood. The communities where it's supposed to go is significant driven. This is what I've read, at least by the opportunity for somebody who has invested in some property and has a substantial gain in it to take that capital gain and resin paying taxes on it, Cash it out and put it into an investment in one of these opportunities owns is that the essence? Of it. Yes, Yes, Yes, yes, And the hope is to make up Make investment in underserved communities. More profitable, mean nasty. At the end of the day, everyone, even the most altruistic person. You know when you're making an investment in, uh, property real estate investment, it is called an investment because you're in. You intend to get a return and in many communities Rate of return on on market rate. Um, project really prices a lot of people out of the market, so by creating these incentives it will give hopefully will give more people in opportunity to Um To put the work in in communities that really you're looking for it. And for me, it's about doing the in partnership with the community can with municipalities across the country, So you're advising, as I understand, is part of Social Impact Council revels IA's They disappoint a billion dollars in capital here. How do you go about doing that? How do you identify the projects that needed or deserve it? The most. Well, we're starting tol take a look at these these projects now, and I think that the first thing that rebels he did was to put together a group of people that had Very different experiences. But unlike minds that meaning that we want to make sure in a way that is bipartisan, that is, you know, that is That is equal and looking for a way to promote this development. And so I think that you know that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna have great dialogue about these projects, and we're going to really focus on doing Well and also doing good looking at the list. Here I see a former NBA player, former NFL player, another former mayor, mayor of Oklahoma City. So, as you say, different life experiences being brought to bear we talking about apartment buildings. Is it hotels? What sorts of real estate will you be taking A look at? Um all of those qualified for development and opportunity zones, and I think we'll look at that the project on a private space project faces again. With the goal of making sure that these thieves tax incentives have a real social impact. We want to make sure that what we're doing is not just creating On jobs but creating property projects that enchant the communities where the where the projects will reside. So you put your finger on it enhanced. The community is the ultimate goal. Here. I take his not just making neighborhood prettier. It's to help the people who live in that community, particularly how do you avoid the risk that I've heard about some of sort of? I guess you would call it gentrification. You go and you make a nice fancy investment, but it drives the people out of the neighborhood or or drives the prices up that they have to pay. So no one wants to run people out of their community in Baltimore. I was. We're focused on that with a Circuit breaker. So for any for year over any year to year, your property taxes can only go up by a small percentage. So even if your property increases 100% Year over year your property tax, But the city will only go up. But very, very small portion of that s O. I think you know more communities do things like that that will protect The the current residents, original residents they from gentrification while allowing them to gain the benefit of families. Biggest opportunity Tol dwell so that the there's one side of the coin that you know that does that pushing people out of making, you know, it's not, um Making it hard for the people that are there, Tonto purchase into the neighborhood. But there's also a flipside, so those people are owners. It's increasing wealth in those neighborhoods. So There's a way to To do both to create opportunities for wealth building but also to make sure that the people who are there already have an opportunity to stay in survived there, and that's what Goal with just very revered the end. Do you have any sense of a time horizon? How long will it take to get that billion dollars deployed? No. We are cautiously optimistic that by working with the by the administration, um you know they will help to roll it out in a smoother way, then has been up to the up to the president.

Since the first case was reported last March. Let's speak to opposition MP A doctor's enters the Rawlings, who was the daughter of the late former president Jerry John Rawlings. Dr Rawlings. Welcome to news day. First of all your reaction to this closure of parliament. Thank you very much. And good morning to you. Yes, I think it was. It was actually quite timely aside previously mentioned to someone else. You can't take an action this dress because that without having the put scientific basis to do so, and the right honorable speaker, having disclosed boost the figures to us off about 17 members of Parliament coming up positive in the first batch of tests. And over 100 and 50 support stuff. I think that's a significant number that should require that kind of drastic action because it means that the interventions that are in place somehow not managing to keep the members of parliament and stuff safe. And I think the best thing at this point is to actually hold your horses, you know, do a proper assessment off the entire situation and then give those who have been identified as positive and opportunity to actually be in isolation have been the family screened and And hopefully fully recover. I should add. There's this little delay on the line, eh? So bear with us on that. Can you reassure Dr Rawlings Ghanaians listening that the country will still be able to function even though Parliament isn't sitting As as we as we currently speak. The appointments Committee of Parliament has started meeting yesterday to medicine went through the vetting process over a period of over five hours yesterday with a break in between, they had a pure five in the vegging room. The old members in the room wearing masks, they only had one designated media here. Media team in there, which is the kind of broke house Inc Um you know, Company Inc in House and all other persons were asked to stay away. These are some of the measures that are being put in place to ensure that some sort of business can continue even as we take drastic means to ensure that we halt the spread. And give people a chance to recover. So inasmuch as one cannot give 100% assurance In this case, the country one must live as the vetting process went on. So parliament isn't shut down. Completely sitting is suspended for the next three weeks, and all members are as to go and retest and within the next two weeks, at least, have Della repeaters, so that on resumption off sitting in the house people can come in with evidence of tests haven't been done and just very quickly. How do you feel about schools remaining open? Is that a good idea and felt fully open? To be quite honest. That has been a big concern of mine, given the fact that even during the vetting process yesterday, one of the nominees did admit that there was a delay between the announcement to have the school's re open and the procurement off safety and other protective equipment for the students and teachers and stuff in the schools. I have had some complaints from some schools where they don't have enough water. Upstair hands on and some of the Children You know sufficient mask, So it is a real concern. We are also where the fact that the strain that we're dealing with now affect not just the elderly or people with calm abilities. It's affecting Children as well. And I don't speak to you. They're quite a number of schools that have shown cases. Positive cases in across as well, So it's I think it's something that really needs to be looked at, and I'm hoping that following the closure of parliament, the president will reconsider. You know the situation with the school's appreciate that update. That's the rulings of Susanna's the rulings their opposition MP and Garner, giving us the latest on the situation there, where parliament has been suspended. For three weeks. Dramatic new footage has been screened of last month's storming of Congress of the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Security cameras showed the president's supporters breaking into the building. Senators also heard panicked radio messages between the police as they were overwhelmed by the crowd. Landry Landry, We need reinforcement Couple of Palestine, the pull of Gates trial will now prove that S O. They're so that SSM previously unseen footage this evidence from a key component of the Democrats cases, American network, NBC explained. House managers actually showed several different angles of that new security video showing the capital break in and how close the writers were to members of Congress. This is part of the Democrats presentation today as they tried to prove that the writers were violent that they were following orders of the former president. Earlier, I spoke to Jared Carter, professor of law at the University of Vermont. He's been following development closely. We really saw just how close the rioters got to the members of the House and the Senate. And I also think we saw through line through these videos. The clips the tweets that really demonstrated the president's Involvement in this what ultimately became a riot on the beating heart of our democracy. So this was his closest it gets, And I think the new video that we saw really demonstrated that to the members of the Senate who are now sitting as jurors, and you're going to have to decide whether or not to convict President Trump. From you watching it from your seat. How powerful? Do you think that evidence is going to be in convincing some of those Republicans in the Senate that Donald Trump was the inciter in chief? Well, look, there's no question that there remains a from the House managers perspective an uphill battle. They've got to get 17 senators on the Republican side to go along with their position. On. That's gonna be difficult. However, I do think there is a wing of the Republican Party and former leader Mitch McConnell, I think is the linchpin here. That may be willing to have a vote of conscience in which they decide to convict the president, having seen all of what was put forth. Today by the House managers. Um most of them are pretty tight lipped, So we are going to know. And we haven't seen the defense, of course, which enough in a impeachment trials, that important piece of of it. So when are we going to see the defense? And will we see President Trump himself. I don't think we're gonna see President Trump himself. In fact, I think we certainly won't see President Trump himself. Typically a defendant, if you will isn't going to testify because the theory is they're going to do more harm than good. But we're going to see the defense make I think of vigorous argument that in the coming days This is going to move quickly, isn't it? Because the Senate has a lot of business a big, you know, Stimulus Bill almost $2 trillion to deal with When do we expect this to conclude? Well, I think it's gonna be a matter of days. The House managers have a bit more time and then the fence has the same time and then assuming no evidence is introduced, no testimonies taken. Then there's going to be a vote and we're going to know in short order whether President Trump will be convicted This is the second impeachment child the president Trump has faced. The first one didn't seem to grip the nation very much. This one different, I think absolutely, because this one stems from Something that hasn't happened in the United States since 18 12 the breach of the capital and as a visceral impact on people, regardless of their political persuasion, So I think this is a very different moment.

I was a young man in those days. And that was a stunning game. What I saw what I saw yesterday. I'm still trying to digest. I mean, after you go through as you all were mentioned a little bit ago. You beat Breeze You beat Rogers. You beat my homes. And you know, it was a pound down 31 to 9. And I know the fans in your area are gonna want to get a hold of what I'm about to talk about, because this was history.

Through the playoffs got through the season wonder last eight games and the years from now you'll be able just to look at that panel and be able to talk about it. And then on the last panel is the is the official Super Bowl 55 logo, the championship logo that data the game that big 31 the nine score against Kansas City. Right below. That is a real sweet spot. It'll say, See Super Bowl champions right there. So you get all that on this special football on Lee five thousands ever going to be made.

What's the first our hopes his house in the second hour of Polly says here. It's so exciting. Hey, Well, listen we're talking about, you know, everybody passing on Brady and you know who Walsh add Walsh's name to the list. So I mean, what does that prove? Right? I mean, that that the incredible meteoric out liar that is Tom Brady, right? I mean, he's he's so off the grid that it's it's almost beyond description. It's not the first time though. Joe wasn't exactly a high draft pick either. Joe can't even compare a third rounder. Isn't there like a world between the third round in the sixth round? Yeah, I guess so. But still third round it ain't you know, I agree with you like so? So there was. I'm all leading up to this story that I found yesterday in the New York Times. Polly. Don't, you know? Yeah, yeah. Fake news. They wrote a story about Bill Pennington is a really good writer, and he's there actually read a lot of golf for them, too. But he sought out Tom Brady's story in the history of like culture, Okay, because he's saying he came from such obscurity to become such an all time legend right the question, he said. We asked experts in various fields if they could cite similar Saugus throughout history. All right. So like here are some here some of the names that came a scholar's compared Brady to ready for this. Go ahead. Pope Francis. What Because no hopes Pope Francis because he because he received because he became a pro pit age 76 Brady still doing the age thing it Earl Woods make this list is like, make the list totally. Um, another ready for this. One of these world. Historians compared him to Alexander the great come on, because they said that he the compass that Aristotle was Alexander the Great's tutor, just like Bela Chick. Was Brady's tutor. And that he conquered the world. And just like Brady has conquered the football world. This is what we're talking about here, buddy on then ready for this. Somebody, a literary scholar compared him to Harry Potter. What? An unassuming wizard who contains the powers. Stop that. Blow away the one I'm telling you. This isn't the way worse. Times wizards. Yes, Thank you. Another scholar compared him to Winston Churchill, who had a second run is prime minister after World War two. Come on. Yes, Crazy So saying yes, That's what's going to start to get crazy ready for this. Another one compared him to King David from the Bible about David and Goliath. Come on, but no, he he was compared by one scholar to both David and Goliath because he started out as David hears. This is from the filmmakers Gotham Chopra. He's the ultimate underdog who came out of nowhere like David. But with all the success he has turned in Goliath, which is sort of interesting one. Yeah. Hunter Rawlings, a classics scholar in the former president of the University of Iowa, and Cornell says he finds a link to Alexander the great Quote. He never lost a battle through fighting the Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, Afghans, Indians and countless others. That would be a Brady defeating all the other teams. Alexander the great never ran into Eli Manning. That's the difference. Dude, in credit. I almost did a spit take. I almost did assign a coffee swirl. Almost spit. Take great line. Great feeling that separate freaking line right there. S. Oh, there you go, Paulie. That's where we're at. Now. We're going. We're going. We're going. Harry Potter.

Last year. At this time, I'm just trying to make sure all our focus is On the grounds that you know, everybody had a chance to see how good they are. And on it will take all of that. I mean, we've got to make sure that we keep our eye right on that this guy who was lost a whole lot of NFC championship games, right? I don't think in your head when I When I heard this question asked him in the press conference was like, I don't think and he's thinking Super Bowl quite yet. Nothing And he's like, Yeah, we had a tough game against Kevin still fancies Brown's Baker Mayfield this week. Well, Kevin's to fans Key who had Cove in 19. It was not with his team last weekend, and a lot of people just wrote the Browns off. In part because of that, because they work it out their head coach, You just seem like all boy, they finally get into the postseason 18 years after Kelly Holcomb takes the ball, and they're just not gonna be able to get it done, and they did They handle them easily, And it all started with that bad snap over Ben Roethlisberger's head to start the game, So they asked the fancy about it. This was the whole beginning of his media session. Everybody wanted to know how he watched the game. Was he nervous? Was he was he did? He turned the volume down on the TV. Did he watch it on the normal broadcast? Was he fired up? Was he face time and Well after the game. He actually did share that as he walked off the field. Jarvis Landry facetime him two minutes after the game ended, and he said, I didn't anticipate having to face time like while they were still doing post game on TV. Jarvis Landry's walking off the field face time and his head coach anyways to fans, he was asked what his reaction was and how it was that he he felt when he saw that staff go over Ben Roethlisberger's head and his Brown's fall on the fumble for a touchdown from the first play from scrimmage. Kevin, You're so even killed and calm, but did you have Emotion when you were washing the game when this snap went over his head to begin, did you yell? I mean, what was that, like? You know, the funny part about that is I'm in the basement, isolating for my family on, I guess the my feet for whatever reason, I must have hit pause or something was about 45 seconds behind. So I heard my kids going crazy upstairs. S o. I had had an inkling something good was gonna happen in the first place. How about it watching on delay like you? Come on, Breathe head coach of the team. You're gonna be watching in real time. Like I get bummed out when sad starts talking, and I got a pause the game for a second. I generally will just speed it up. I'm like I can't sit here on a delay. I gotta know what's happened. Especially because if you're if you're watching the game while you're on Twitter, you'll never like People are live tweeting everything you know, I mean, here you only find out everything before before it hits your screen. But that's what's the fancy dealt with. On Sunday. One more here, this one from Bruce Arians kind of a funny comment here. They just asked him about. The Saints won five straight against the Bucks. Now they would both of those games this year. The Saints are going for their third consecutive win against the Bucks. This is the Sunday Night game. They asked Bruce Arians when a team like that as five straight wins against you, You feel like they've just got more swagger than your team. I don't think there's any more swagged and then our offense is guarantee that And, uh, you know, we just have to. You can't get caught up in the finger pointing and in the trash talking. You have played football and you know the Bears. Young receiver got caught up in it and got thrown out of the game. It's gonna happen. I mean, that's who they are. So you just have to deal with it. And when you're one on one matchups, but, um Yeah. I mean, they have a ton of swagger. And I should you know, they should. It was that gardener Johnson, who painted him on that earlier this year. Winds had that incident with Carter Johnson to worry. Hit him in the head. He got suspended. So Yeah, there's pro Syrians talking about the swagger of his offense anyway.

Will land you a bad ass sword, which is pretty cool, But I'm looking at this 55 nines text read back in December. They said that the Rawlings Center Field Glove is the best Christmas present ever. Which sort of makes me think. Do the Rawlings Gold Glove trophies. Those are cool like that's it. That's a pretty cool relic to. I think they actually take a baseball glove spray with gold paint or whatever they do, They get it all harden it up, and they put it on to understand, And I think the gold gloves are actually original Rawlings gloves before the gold plate him or, however, they make that thing into a trophy anyway for away checks in and says Well, trophies are for Children. Give these guys a fat check and give them both. Give me a ring in a paycheck anyway.

That's the dude over here behind my left shoulder, So that's a hell of a voice cash greater and But again, all all this movie is is Joe and 22, Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey. I didn't know Was Tina Fey it first, right? Yeah, I didn't know it was her. I don't know if that's been just an idiot. And that actually, one of the funniest lines in the movie is when he says to her. You sound like a middle aged white woman so goofy again. My primary takeaway here. Visuals. I think they're the best pictures ever done. I don't think they've done better. They always get better and better, Obviously sure, short but at points this looks like life like the colors pop a bit more than regular life, but it's so lifelike. It's incredible that I think in on the whole movie. Yeah, the the look of the before. Is just like, mind blowing. It's beautiful. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, cool stuff, And I like that They like Picasso. We will some of the stuff there because it's like undefined. And then again, the other takeaway Jamie Foxx. Unbelievable question for you. Actually, you know, it's kind of a thin year when it comes to the movies. Did he get an Oscar nomination? I don't know how voiceover stuff. I don't know how it works, either. But is he the best this year? Good question. That is a really good question, because I don't know it's either him or Jim Carrey and Sonic. Even though Joe Kid that was a joke. I was like Jim Carrey played the character You knew for a second there now, and Jim Carrey would first up Jim Carrey is gonna win for best supporting actor. Best actor is going to go to the guy that played sonic genre, Alfio. Of course, Of course I actually I don't even know Guess the leader in the clubhouse would probably be Bozeman for my Rainey's, right? Yeah, probably the one that wins it. Yeah, I watched that movie at some point I've washed yet, but it sounds like he's that is after the best in that movie, you know, they really should have. Ah, voiceover section and they got me. I'm completely with you know that I love boys. Yeah, Yeah, It's such a huge part of this. No, he doesn't overplay it a lot of voiceover people because you are, you know, trying to give life to something that does not really have life. You go a bit over the top with it. This was just perfect. Well, I think he doesn't amazing job and again. This is Jamie Foxx. Bigger than life. Jamie Foxx. He sounds like a 40 year old something music teacher. And that's hard to do If you're Jamie Foxx, yeah. Or anyone really know, Mac, what I got from this movie, You know, Wake up, smell the coffee. Don't obsess over things, because maybe the thing that you're obsessing about it's not gonna fulfill you in the way that you think it is. You know? Do you want your hobby to be your career? Is that something that you really want, and this is sort of Why it first of all, It's an adult movies at a kid's movie, but I think a lot of people can connect to it because everyone at some point in their life has gone through. That is this. I mean, look at you. You're an electrician's 10 years ago, right? Yes, you know, And that was my hobby. First. I was like, I'm gonna spark some wires. And then, like, you know what makes some money out of this? I'm like this does not fulfill may Now look in college. Undecided had no idea what I was gonna do. I end up being a history and political science. Double major have not used that whatsoever in my life. I've seen you on Twitter. You use it a lot. I didn't want to teach. I don't want to go to law school because I didn't think I was cut out for it. And here I am. Now I'm a firefighter. How do those things mess? You know, it's never straight line. It's never a to B. And I think that's what this movie does a good job of telling you that If you're at B, that might not be the end. Maybe there's a C you know, Or maybe you're in still between a and B. There's always the next thing and don't be afraid to go and get rid of the gauntlet. It's the out show today a little bit. It's actually nine. By the way isn't well.
